Shipwrights

I’m embarking on new photographic project focusing on Shipwrights and traditional boat building. This will be mainly a portraiture project but with still life as I’ll be photographing in boat yards.

I aim to capture the craft and unique art of traditional boat building which is centuries old. I have some images for this project already and I’m in touch with boat yards in the south and east of England.

The shipwrights use traditional processes working in wood using hand tools and there is plenty of photographic potential in these busy work places.

I’ll post my progress on here as this project develops.

A Portrait Project

I’m going to be making the most of my summer travels this year by building up my portraits portfolio. Capturing images of people in their own environment can make for some striking images.

I’ve found that we often only get one chance to photograph an individual in their environment as we encounter them. So it’s important to take that chance and aim to get a great photograph. This is also an exercise in speed and confidence with our equipment and our ability to control the shoot situation.

I’ll be adding to my photography page with a new album once I have some good portrait images to share.
